Energy & Propulsion Systems Architecture Intern (Summer 2027)

General Motors Company; United States; Hybride; USD 28 000 - 41 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

General Motors Company is offering a 2027 Summer Intern role on the Energy and Propulsion Systems Architecture team. You will aid architecture studies, simulations, and laboratory testing to inform future electrified propulsion designs, connecting battery cells, modules, packs, power electronics, and vehicle performance.

The position emphasizes data analysis, modeling, and clear technical communication to researchers and engineers across battery, propulsion, controls, and thermal systems.

Qualifications

• Pursuit of an advanced degree (MS or Phd) in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Able to work fulltime, 40 hours per week during the summer months.
• Must be willing to work in a laboratory and engineering test environment.

Responsabilités

• Support energy and propulsion systems architecture studies, including the evaluation of battery, electric machine, drive unit, power electronics, controls, and thermal-system interactions.
• Develop, run, and interpret vehicle-level propulsion and energy simulations across representative operating conditions and drive cycles.
• Analyze energy consumption, performance, power capability, operating limits, state-of-charge behavior, and other system-level measures to identify trends and architecture tradeoffs.
• Assist with cell, module, and battery-pack testing by helping prepare test activities, configure equipment or data acquisition, collect data, and maintain organized test records.
• Support laboratory work related to battery characterization, pack performance, durability, modeling, and analysis while following applicable laboratory safety and handling practices.
• Compare experimental results with model predictions, investigate differences, and help improve model assumptions, inputs, or analysis methods.
• Clean, process, visualize, and interpret test and simulation data; summarize results using clear plots, tables, and written technical explanations.
• Create or update system block diagrams, interface descriptions, requirements documentation, analysis scripts, test summaries, and technical presentations.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to define questions, document assumptions, review results, and recommend next steps.
• Present technical findings in team discussions and incorporate feedback into follow-on analyses.
